    "notes": "The DHS 2025 AI Use Case Inventory (entry DHS-315, as consolidated by the Office of Management and Budget) lists 'ERNIE' as deployed. The entry says the model analyses radiation portal monitor readings to give real-time risk assessments and prioritised recommendations for further screening for radioactive materials. It lists the DHS Countering Weapons of Mass Destruction office as vendor, says the system falls back to the default deterministic algorithm when ERNIE cannot decide, and classes the use as high-impact.",
